From Today Midland Mainline no longer exist!
East Midlands trains will be conveying me on my commute to London.
What differences will we notice? Well they are getting off to a good start by stopping the free Tea and Coffee to Standard class customers, so that will endear them to the masses!!!!!!!!!

London St Pancras International
I happened to be passing through St Pancras last Tuesday evening while the Queen was opening the New modernised St Pancras Station. Actually it's only really open to East Midlands Train services at the moment but will be home to Eurostar (14th Nov), First Capital Connect (9th Dec) and Southeast trains (December 2009).
The place will also contain a shopping centre and various hostelries including Europes longest Champaigne Bar(!).

Damn!
It's back to work for me tomorrow!
I've had a lovely two weeks off - the first spent with my folks and the second involving lots of "me" time, which was much needed!
I've only really got two days at work next week due to the fact that I have a funeral to attend on Wednesday and we are taking the Duty Managers away for two days (to exotic Bourne End!) on Thursday and Friday.
Thursday and Friday will be a good opportunity to say thankyou for all the effort they have put in over the last year in making not only Golders Green a fantastic place to work at but in also playing their part in making the Northern Line the most reliable railway on the Underground system. The Duty Managers are, after all the ones which make it tick and make everything happen.
Of course the other purpose of Thursday and Friday is to plan our way forward for the next year and see how we can make ourselves even more efficient and better.

RIP Madgie Walker
aka Mrs C's Nan!
Lovely, truthful lady who when I first met her before anything else warned me that Mrs C and her Mum didn't have a sense of humour!!!!!!!!!
She passed away in her sleep last Tuesday after suffering from lung cancer for about the last 14 months.
The funeral is next Wednesday.

I like cycling!
These are a couple of shots taken while I stopped to admire the scenery on The Brampton Valley Way, early last week. I reckon I cycled about 15 miles all told and it was thoroughly enjoyable. I must get out more on my bike as I feel much healthier for it.
My visit to Coventry.....................
...................was a very nice one as well. A very good view and a fantastic performance from Watford to run out 3-0 winners. I took Corby senior as a birthday gift and he was well pleased with the end result too!!!!!!!!
